Velavadar's open grasslands support an incredible biodiversity, and are a must-visit if you're keen to see the very elusive Indian wolf.

Winter months, October to January, are ideal for migratory birds, and the drier months, February to June, are ideal for wolves, hyenas and jungle cats.

    Travel With organized a fantastic trip for our family of four to Panna National Park and Khajuraho; everything was very smooth! The drivers were on time and courteous, and the Khajuraho guide was definitely a subject matter expert. He kept the whole family engaged from start to finish, and every detail was handled exactly as promised.

    We've now completed three safaris through Kunal: Ranthambore, Jim Corbett, and Kaziranga. We are repeat customers for a reason! Kunal truly takes care of you. He is thoroughly transparent and very quick with communication. He also places you with excellent guides and lodges at every step of the journey.

    Great experience and really well organised! Kunal organised absolutely everything for our safari in Jim Corbett National Park and it went very smoothly. We had a really great time in Jim's Jungle Retreat and would definitely go back, organising through Travel With again.

Things to know as you plan

Frequently asked questions.

  • If you're keen to see harriers and other migratory birds, then you should visit in October. If you're keen to see and photograph Indian wolves, hyenas and jungle cats, then visit from February onwards.

    Evenings are prime time for the wolves and harriers, so we plan drives around the golden light.

  • Always private — your own jeep, driver and naturalist, so you can wait quietly on the grassland for the wolves and the roosting harriers rather than move on with a convoy.

  • Blackbuck in numbers, the Indian wolf, striped hyena and jungle cat, and exceptional birds of prey — Velavadar is one of the world's great harrier roosts.
